Image processing [1]
Details: 4702 Tulane virus particles were selected using combined automated selection with ethan program and manual screening with boxer program in EMAN. The microscope contrast transfer function parameters for each micrograph were first determined using an automated fitting method and then manually verified/corrected using EMAN ctfit graphic program. The entire TV dataset was divided into two halves and processed independently for all the subsequent steps including construction of initial model, 2-D alignment and 3-D reconstruction. De novo initial models were constructed using the random model method in which random particle orientations were assigned and subsequently refined iteratively until convergence. The iterative refinement process including particle alignment and 3-D icosahedral reconstruction was performed using an in-house developed program jspr.py utilizing the EMAN/EMAN2 programs and library functions. The resolution was determined based on the 0.143 cutoff criterion for two truly independent reconstructions.
